This morning I received a PM from a fellow quit brother of mine in March, that somewhat floored me when I realized a much bigger meaning behind his gesture. Iron quitter, Bulldog, complimented a post I made on a newbieÂ’s thread. Bulldog has been posting roll and saving my life with me for 191 strait days (my quit time). But we donÂ’t text each other or much beyond that. But his random PM, punched me in the face and hit me with enormous force.
Accountability. The magnitude of my accountability is so enormous, that if I fuck up, I would be the biggest scumbag/douche nozzle I know. IÂ’m not saying I have the biggest accountability network or most complex. Many others have posted before me saying the same thing; but it really hit me this morning like a ton of bricks. I post roll in anywhere from 9 to 11 groups, I have 13 numbers in my phone, I comment on newbie threads, and chat occasionally. I am a 100% roll poster with 20 stud Iron Men quitters and I hate when people donÂ’t take roll seriously. My wife and friends outside of KTC are also engaged in my quit.
For 18 fucking years I have been a hypocrite and a liar. No more! I am quit and I am not that guy any more. My actions on this site, the things I say, my daily promise to the thousands of KTC quitters, my interactions with brothers and friends here all contribute to my network. They count on me day in and day out to hold my word. They need me. I need them. My accountability is my foundation, my “stone” and it means the world to me. Roll leads to accountability, which leads to brotherhood.
Though not your intent, thank you Bulldog for opening my eyes to the magnitude of my quit.
Quit on brothers.
